well, he was voted for a norris nomination, and has a good chance of winning.

I think Galchenyuk becomes a top 10 player in the nhl, in 4-5 years. his tools and iq is too high, coupled with his attitude (never gave up, even down 6-1) is something you cannot teach. the guy has everything you want in a player.

I think this year was a huge learning curve for price, after his performance in game 1, he came back and played solid. Anderson was hot, and deserved to win; however, price was good.

that said, I believe price will be the best goalie in the nhl next year and will be for a long time. there's somethings that can only be learned through experience, and I think price has learned A LOT this year.

Price has never being the best player , it was all made up by the organization who wanted a franchise player asap.the only one who is going to be close to subban level is galchyenuk and imo #1 dman > #1 center. If subban play most of his carrer with the habs i think he has a legit chance to have his jersey retired.

Price was the best player on the team the last 2 years, how does that qualify as "never"?

How can people say that the bridge contract was a mistake is beyond me. Bergevin put Subban into his place saying he's not more important than the team and then when Subban came back he had a perfect attitude, always talking of the team instead of himself, being very commited to play the system and had a monster season to prove he is worth what he was asking for. And we got a bargain for this year and next.

Tell me how this is different from what Bergevins envisioned when he gave him a bridge contract. What was he hoping for? That Subban sucked this year so he can then sign him for 3 mil per for 6 years???

Yeah maybe Myers was overated and Subban is much better. Bergevin just wanted to be sure of this and of Subban's attitude before he gave him this contract. Now you sign him for 6 or 7 million per who cares, now YOU KNOW he's worth it.

This. This is exactly what was supposed to happen. I agree with the bridge philosophy and think this is a shining example of why it's a good idea. It was reinforced that Subban is part of the TEAM, and he came out and proved what an important part of that team he is. You can't think MB was hoping to now get him at a bargain-basement price. He just wanted to know that this would be the right place to spend all that money. And it seems to be.

Not a big deal, we either get the savings now or later. I'd prefer if we would have signed him long term and if I PK now, I wouldn't leave a dime on the table after the low-ball crap he ended up signing.
